Utrecht, the Netherlands based thrashers Nuestros Derechos (meaning "Our Rights" in Spanish) are firmly rooted with one foot in a tradition of (thrash) metal and the other in the hardcore/punk scene. In a basic rock 'n roll lineup of guitar, drums and bass Nuestros Derechos deliver engaged and very energetic thrash applying do-it-yourself (DIY) principles when it comes to making and distributing music.
The latest release: "Struggling with the Dark"
Your friendly neighborhood metal band takes you on a trip through the dark sides of existence. Seven new songs, with struggle and darkness as thematic thread, were recorded at the Bunt Studios in Utrecht, The Netherlands under the guidance of well-known producer Menno Bakker (Born From Pain, Sin Dios, NRA, Seein' Red, Bambix, Malkovich, Razor Crusade, The Apers, Makiladoras, Human Alert, etc).
Mastering duties were handled by the critically acclaimed Alan Douches at West West Side Music, who previously offered his services to Sepultura, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Sick Of It All, Converge, From Autumn To Ashes, Dillinger Escape Plan, Hatebreed, and Unearth among others.

Janet (ex-T.B.C.) makes her Nuestros Derechos debut on "Struggling with the Dark". She replaced original bass player and co-lead vocalist Jan-Willem, who parted ways with the band in 2006.
"Split 'Em All"
Their previous release, the split cd entitled "Split 'Em All", was the result of Nuestros Derechos teaming up with fellow thrashers De Waonzin (RIP). Both bands recorded four tracks each. This split release breathes the old-school feeling of the '80s all over, including the artwork and the album title, a reference to Metallica's classic 1983 album "Kill 'Em All".
"PAN Recording Session"
The band’s first studio recording, the "PAN Recording Session" was released in 2003. Containing four songs, the demo was recorded in one single day by Mario Vrooman. Theo Vogelaars (known from bands like Tröckener Kecks and De Snevo's) made a brave endeavour to mix all noise. Finally the recordings were mastered in a mere two hours by Manolo Honkoop (known from bands like Judgement Day, d’Upyoghurted and Warchitect).

Nuestros Derechos' energetic live performance have brought the band all over the country and abroad, including festivals like From Beyond Metal Fest, Plankgas Punk Festival, Utreg Punk Festival, Occultfest, Trashfest, Raise Your Fist en A Very Heavy X-Mosh festival.
